The one who originally shouted shouted again: "We are hired guards, not slaves of your house." Look at the crossbow arrow, what kind of crossbow arrow. ”

At this time, someone went to study the crossbow arrows that killed him twice.

Someone exclaimed: "This, this is the Qin army's standard crossbow." ”

The standard crossbow of the Qin army, even if it is about to be eliminated, will not be sold to outsiders, not to mention that the new military crossbow used by Lu Cao is still a new type of military crossbow jointly produced by Qin and Korean craftsmanship after South Korea joined.

The style of the crossbow arrows is different from that of other countries, and each crossbow arrow is engraved with small characters, representing the identity of the Qin army's combat unit to which the arrow belongs.

The standard crossbow of the Qin army!

Could it be that they were not facing robbers, but the Qin army?

One of the guys suddenly screamed, "They just now, they were the city guards of Red Mountain City. ”

The city guards of Red Hill City.

At this time, looking at the dress of these people, it is not the dress of Hongshan City at all, you must know that Hongshan City is the dress of the Xiongnu and Donghu people.

The leader of the guards invited by the caravan shouted: "You, you are the Qin army? ”

Lu Cao replied: "Not yet, we are just an alternative." ”

The alternative is also the Qin army, at least part of the Qin army sequence.

The escort team fell, and the caravan relied on a little of its own guards plus the coachman, man, it was impossible to fight to the death with Lu Ke and the others, so the caravan also fell.

If it is not a bandit, then there is no need for the Qin army to rob their goods.

The convoy began to slowly move forward, and Lu Cao also ordered his men to collect the weapons of the escort team.

At this moment, an arrow suddenly sounded.

Lu Ke knew that this was the sound of the Qin army's urgent preparations for war, so he didn't care too much, and immediately ordered the grain and grass to be outside, and the horses to be contained, and set up a circular defensive formation.

Fifteen of the twenty cavalry of the Qin army who had originally followed Lu Ke also ran over and entered the chariot formation at the gap in the chariot formation that Lu Ke had let go.

After entering the car formation, the commander of the Qin army hurriedly said, "There is trouble, big wolf pack." ”

"How many?"

Qin Jun Shi took a deep breath and regained his composure: "I don't know, we have already encountered two wolves on the periphery, the smell of blood here has attracted more wolves, I have already arranged for people to go back to the rescue, this is only less than twenty miles away from Hongshan City." ”

As he spoke, several wolves had already appeared in sight.

At this time, it was not completely dark, and what could be seen was about fifty paces, and there were wolves moving in the distance, which seemed to be quite numerous.

Lu Cao, the leader of the escort team invited by the caravan, and the commander of the Qin army. The three of them stood on a high place, watching the wolves from afar.

The appearance of the commander of the Qin army made the caravan not have the slightest heart to resist.

This is the real Qin army, wearing the standard light steel scale armor of the Qin army, and you can tell what level of military attache it is from the style of the armor.

The lower the level, the lower the complexity of the armor.

The Qin army actually occupied Hongshan City.

For the guards invited by the caravan, they don't care who occupies the Red Mountain City, they only need the remuneration of the guards, and the safety of their own lives.

But for the caravan, this was not good news.

There is no need to guess, the shopkeeper in the caravan also knows very well that it is unlikely that Qin Jun will steal his goods, but the possibility that Qin Jun will not let him do business in Hongshan City is very, very large.

Seeing the wolves getting closer and closer, the commander of the Qin army took out a bow, mounted an arrow and shot three arrows.

Three arrows were fired in three directions, and three wolves died under the arrows.

Immediately afterwards, the wolves pounced on the three dead wolves, and almost in the blink of an eye, there were not even a few bones left on the ground except for blood.

The blood of the three dead wolves was not cold, and it had been eaten.

"It is estimated that there are three to four wolf packs, the largest may be more than thirty, and the small one feels like there are about ten, and the total number of wolves should be around seventy."

Based on the fact that the three wolves killed by these three arrows were snatched and eaten, the commander of the Qin army had already estimated the number of wolves.

Lu Cao said: "If it's just me, I'm not afraid, I won't be afraid of wolves when there are knights on the war horse, but the carts are all bad horses, plus there are more than 100 miscellaneous servants in the team, the wolves are sneak attacks in the night, once the convoy moves forward, whether it is for people or horses, it is a little difficult." ”

Qin Jun Shi also said: "It's a bit difficult, there are still twenty miles here." If you go to Hongshan City like this, there will be more than a dozen injuries to the least, and if the horse pulling the cart is frightened, the damage will be even greater. ”

The leader of the escort team looked at the Qin army and Lu Ke with a surprised expression.

"You, aren't you trying to protect yourself?"

Lu Cao smiled: "Seventy wolves are not terrible. It's impossible for us to hunt down these wolves, but we're sure to be okay with self-preservation. ”

Commander Qin Jun also said: "It's just that caravans that have not been registered are restricted from passing through here at will, if they really have the intention to kill you, they can do it directly." In the military regulations of my Qin army, there are rules restricting killing, not to mention that you are just ordinary people. ”

Lu Ke and Qin Jun's words were not false at all.

Heavily trained military horses, as well as well-equipped regular troops, will never be afraid of wolves.

Wolves are generally a group of about ten, and no one has ever seen more than fifty of them when they encounter a large wolf pack, so it was really surprising to encounter several wolves this time.

The leader of the caravan guards suddenly spoke: "The Zhao army has entered the Yan Realm, and some of them are stationed in the Yan Kingdom close to the grassland. ”

"No wonder."

After sighing with emotion, the chief of the Qin army said in a low voice: "The Zhao army dispatched, it was the Zhao army that went north and left the wolves with nowhere to go, so they fled to the north, it seems that there will be more and more wolves here in Hongshan City." ”

Qin Junshi's analysis was correct.

The army is dispatched, let alone the wolves, and no beast can stop the army. As a result, many beasts began to flee from the areas where the Zhao army was stationed and passed by.

The wolves are heading north, and there is pasture here in Hongshan City, and the wolves must smell the smell and gather here.

The density of beasts in Red Mountain City has also increased as a result.

The presence of several wolves chasing the caravan at the same time makes sense.

At this time, the initiative was completely in the hands of the Qin army, and the escort team invited by the merchants of the Yan State completely fell to the Qin army, and they collected money to escort the caravan and could fight, but they were unwilling to die.

Lu Ke and Qin Jun Shi Chang had been discussing how to bring these people back to Hongshan City safely.

You must know that wolves are very aggressive against people or horses who move slowly, or who have fallen behind, and such a long team is not enough to protect everyone with the current manpower.

The wolf is afraid of fire, but it is afraid of the fire, not the torch.

The leader of the convoy proposed: "Burn the grain cart, pull the burning wagon forward, this fire can block the wolves." ”

Lu Ke shook his head: "After this fire is burned, how long can the grain truck last, there are twenty miles here." ”

Twenty miles, according to this large team, it will take at least an hour.
